Reinstatement means the policy LAPSED and is now back in force. Renewal just means you paid the regular bill on time.
Renewal is when the company offers to RENEW, or CONTINUE, your insurance policy for another 6 or 12 months. REINSTATEMENT is totally different: Reinstatement means that your policy is being put back in force by the company after it had cancelled for non premium payment. The main difference between the two is this: With a reinstatement, you will not have had any coverage during the time from when the policy cancelled, to when it is reinstated. If you had an accident or claim during that time, you would NOT have any coverage. Also, if you had been driving during that time you would have been driving illegally, if your state requires mandatory insurance.
Usually not. However, insurance companies can charge late or reinstatement fees if you pay late.
No such profession. There are only insurance brokers. These will handle renewal of insurance.
At renewal.
*********************
By paying your renewal premia, your life insurance is automatically renewed. When a policy lapses due to non payment of premia, there is provision for renewal of policy by paying penal interest and by submitting 'Declaration of Good Health' form.
It should if your insurance company finds out about it before your renewal.
Insurance policy is a contract in utmost good faith between a customer and a service provider wherein the customer is obliged to pay an agreed premium in lieu of which the service provider e.g. the Insurance Company will cover life and/or movable/immovable properties against unforeseen eventualities. Whereas insurance policy remarket is a different scenario. In this case, the Insurance Company wish to remarket a policy withdrawn in the past, in new form and outlook with new features/incentives embedded therein.
There is no grace period.
The best way to find a decent renewal policy is to compare prices from at least three reputable insurance companies. There are several online sites that make the process easy.
It relates to the time period before an insurance policy for instance runs out....you usually get 2-4 weeks, to pay your renewal sum The renewal period of a life insurance policy falls due on quarterly,half yearly or yearly intervals,though a grace period of 30 days is allowed. Where as in medial insurance, renewal period is calculated 12 months from the date of inception. Here renewal date is vital since it can not be extended by any means and the policy will face unwarranted lapsing. It is advisable to renew the medical insurance policy at least before 7/10 days to be in the safer side.
